Date of Issuance: June 1, 2008

Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby
certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, TAIB BANK, B.S.C.(C) (the "HOLDER"), the
registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the
terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this
Warrant, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59
P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) up to One Million
One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six (1,166,666) fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the Company (the
"WARRANT SHARES") at the exercise price per share provided in Section 1(b) below
or as subsequently adjusted; provided, however, that in no event shall the
holder be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in
excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such
exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise, except within
sixty (60) days of the Expiration Date (however, such restriction may be waived
by Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other holder) upon not less than
65 days prior notice to the Company). For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and
its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such proviso
is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by
the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned

                                       1
<PAGE>

by the holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible
notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall
be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock a holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent
Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its
transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no
event later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice,
confirm in writing to any such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the exercise of Warrants (as defined below)
by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

         Section 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

         Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, pro
rata as hereinafter provided, at any time on any Business Day on or after the
opening of business on such Business Day, commencing with the first day after
the date hereof, and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (i)
by delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached
as EXHIBIT A hereto (the "EXERCISE NOTICE"), of such holder's election to
exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares
to be purchased, payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares (at the applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to
which this Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer
taxes) (the "AGGREGATE EXERCISE PRICE") in cash or wire transfer of immediately
available funds and the surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or
destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company as soon
as practicable following such date.

         In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant
in compliance with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the fifth
(5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and
the receipt of the representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof,
if requested by the Company (the "EXERCISE DELIVERY DOCUMENTS"), and if the
Common Stock is DTC eligible, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder's or its designee's
balance account with The Depository Trust Company; provided, however, if the
holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or
all of the Warrant Shares, or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible then the
Company shall, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of
the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for
overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a
certificate, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled pursuant to such request.
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in
clause (i) or (ii) above the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. In the case of a dispute
as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or
the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly
issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via
facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the holder's Exercise
Notice.

                                       4
<PAGE>


                  (a) If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the
Warrant Shares within one (1) day of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price or the Closing Bid Price to an independent, reputable investment banking
firm or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its
independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking
firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than
forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error.

                  (b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as
practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise
and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this
Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.

                  (c) No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro
rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued
upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest
whole number.

                  (d) If the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any
reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt
of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant
Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder's balance account
with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the
holder is entitled upon the holder's exercise of this Warrant, the Company
shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or otherwise
available to such holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on
each day the issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely
effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product of (A) the sum of the number
of Warrant Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the
holder is entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the
trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could
have issued such Common Stock to the holder without violating this Section 2.

                  (e) If within ten (10) days after the Company's receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the
holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies
under this Warrant, or otherwise available to such holder, the Company shall pay
as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th)
day that such delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount
equal to 0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by
the portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last
possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant to the holder
without violating this Section 2.

         Section 3. COVENANTS AS TO COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby covenants
and agrees as follows:

                  (a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution
for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and
validly issued.

                  (b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof.

                  (c) During the period within which the rights represented by
this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common
Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this
Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal
to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the Company does not
have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available,
then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders
within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

                  (d) If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall
file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares
issuable to the holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall
maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such
listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange
or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such
listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be
listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

                  (e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant
Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

                  (f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to
the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets.

                                       6

         Section 4. TAXES. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any
applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

         Section 5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of
capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in
this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock,
reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or
otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant
Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this
Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as
imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon
exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company,
whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of
this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the
stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof
to the stockholders.

         Section 6. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER. The holder of this Warrant, by
the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of
the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right
to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with
or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities
Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that,
as of this date, such holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined
in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act (an "ACCREDITED INVESTOR"). Upon exercise of
this Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing,
in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are
being acquired solely for the holder's own account and not as a nominee for any
other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale
and that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such holder cannot make such
representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a
condition to such holder's exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive
such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to
assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this
Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

         Section 7. OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER.

                  (a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive
offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company
shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has

                                       7
<PAGE>

been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may
treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the
owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with
the terms of this Warrant.

         Section 8. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

                  (a) ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES
UPON ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of
this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold,
any shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Securities) for a consideration
per share less than a price (the "APPLICABLE PRICE") equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then
immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share. Upon each
such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of
shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing
the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.

                  (b) EFFECT ON WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a)
above, the following shall be applicable:

                           (i) ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS. If after the date hereof,
the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option
or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon
exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share
of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such
price per share. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such
Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be
equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or
receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the
granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon conversion
or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such convertible securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such convertible securities.

                           (ii) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any convertible securities and the lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such
share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued
and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such convertible

                                       8
<PAGE>

securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii),
the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one
share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the convertible security and
upon conversion or exchange of such convertible security. No further adjustment
of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, and if
any such issue or sale of such convertible securities is made upon exercise of
any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are
to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further
adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue
or sale.

                           (iii) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE OR RATE OF CONVERSION.
If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any convertible
securities, or the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
convertible securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of
this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or convertible security that
was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this Warrant are changed in the
manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or
convertible security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
date of such change. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be made
if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price
then in effect.

                           (iv) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any
Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore will be
deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore. If any Common
Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold for a consideration
other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will
be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration
consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the date
of receipt of such securities. If any Common Stock, Options or convertible
securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
such Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, as the case may be. The
fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined
jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least
two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then
outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days
after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "VALUATION EVENT"),
the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent,

                                       9
<PAGE>

reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of such appraiser
shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants.

                           (v) INTEGRATED TRANSACTIONS. In case any Option is
issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.

                           (vi) TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or
held will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

                           (vii) RECORD DATE. If the Company takes a record of
the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in
convertible securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options
or convertible securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date
of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.

                  (c) ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE UPON SUBDIVISION OR
COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.
Any adjustment under this Section 8(c) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

                  (d) DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or
make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its
assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise
(including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other
securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off,
reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a
"Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each
such case:

                                       10
<PAGE>

                           (i) any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced,
effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined
by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the
numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one
share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price
of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date;
and

                           (ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of
shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately
prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the
reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or
(B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose
common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated
quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional
warrant to purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those
of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount
of the assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant
pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by
which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the
Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).

                  (e) CERTAIN EVENTS. If any event occurs of the type
contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for
by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock
appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features),
then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the
Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 8(c),that no such adjustment
pursuant to this Section 8(e) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or
decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined
pursuant to this Section 8.

                  (f) VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENTS BY COMPANY. The Company may at any
time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to
any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of
Directors of the Company.

                  (g) NOTICES.

                           (i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of
this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the
calculation of such adjustment.

                           (ii) The Company will give written notice to the
holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the
Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or
distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata

                                       11
<PAGE>

subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to
vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or
liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public
prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

                           (iii) The Company will also give written notice to
the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any
Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.

         Section 9. PURCHASE RIGHTS; REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION,
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE.

                  (a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8
above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options,
Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the
"PURCHASE RIGHTS"), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire,
upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights
which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

                  (b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a
way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or
upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an "ORGANIC CHANGE." Prior to
the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the
Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person
purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in
each case, the "ACQUIRING ENTITY") a written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (iii)
of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding)
to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security
of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the
Warrants (including an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for
the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale,
and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations
on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant
Exercise Price immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior
to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make
appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of
Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the
Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in
addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore

                                       12
<PAGE>

issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrants (without
regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been
issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant as of the
date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or
restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).

         Section 10. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on
receipt of an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as
this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

         Section 11. NOTICE. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant
must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt,
when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided

         Section 12. DATE. The date of this Warrant is set forth on page 1
hereof. This Warrant, in all events, shall be wholly void and of no effect after
the close of business on the Expiration Date, except that notwithstanding any
other provisions hereof, the provisions of Section 8(b) shall continue in full
force and effect after such date as to any Warrant Shares or other securities
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.

         Section 13. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the provisions of the Warrants may be amended and the Company may take any
action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be
performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the
holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding; provided that, except
for Section 8(d), no such action may increase the Warrant Exercise Price or
decrease the number of shares or class of stock obtainable upon exercise of any
Warrant without the written consent of the holder of such Warrant.

         Section 14. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS; GOVERNING LAW. The descriptive
headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. The corporate
laws of the State of Nevada shall govern all issues concerning the relative
rights of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the
State of New Jersey or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New Jersey. Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in Hudson County and the United States District Court for
the District of New Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or
discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought
in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

         Section 15. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, in any other
agreement between the Company and the Holder, at law or in equity (including a
decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing
herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any
failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach

                                       14
<PAGE>

may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or
other security being required.


         Section 16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH
PARTY HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS WARRANT, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS
WARRANT AND/OR ANY AND ALL OF THE OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
TRANSACTION.
